I was actually wondering if you are interested in making one for me. I'll drop you a PM.

All kidding aside, toorie or no, those glengarries look very nice. They look like they are running away.

If there is no toorie on your bonnet it can neither be a balmoral or a glengarry, but a bonnet it will remain.

wouldnt it be called a tam o shanter then?

**Jock Scot** · 20th April 08, 09:37 AM

I have to confess that I have not studied "Tams",so I don't know about toories and "tams".Just so that you all know,here in Scotland and particularly in the Highlands, the word BONNET is a general term for a hat ,it is not just thought of in terms of Balmoral,glengarry or even the tam.

**Nick the DSM** · 20th April 08, 09:45 AM

it could possibly be the same but under a different name, irish maybe?

I believe a tam o'shanter is usually knit these days, whereas a glengarry or a balmoral or a caubeen, for that matter, is usually made out of wool. All the tam o'shanters I've seen have a large pom-pom on top, much larger than the toorie on a glengarry or balmoral.

I don't know, though. Maybe there's a tam expert out there.

Guess I'm going to have to find a way to look at each of these hats now because I'm confused...

Or I could just decide to avoid all of those bonnets or hats and stick to the ones I have.
